What an extraordinary journey we had here in L.A. Fine Art Show! The wonderful people that we have met and that we will be keeping contact with, the enchanted new collectors of our artist artworks, the business that we have accomplished, the experience was exceptional. Not only actor David Arquette hosted the opening night premiere party but the rumor is that singer Lenny Kravitz attended the event. And more than a rumor, the great actor Jack Nicholson passed in front our booth and took a minute to admire a painting from Desjardins. This Hollywood fever was very exciting. Thanks to each visitor who passed by our booth. Thanks to you our new collectors. And thank you to you reader for following us through this exceptional experience.

Today brought a very different crowd then last night.  Visitors took the time to enjoy and analyze each artwork. They savoured each second. Renzo’s work also creates a lot of amazement. The beauty, the profoundness and the signification of the symbolism that his work shows touches the art lovers and collectors. Again we are so blessed to receive all those great comments, it is very stimulating. We look forward to those coming days.  More to come.

Roccia Art International’s opening night at the L.A. Fine Art Show went very well.  The numerous visitors showed so much enthusiasm regarding the exposed artworks.  The comments regarding the visual presentation and estheticism of our booth were so laudatory.  It is very stimulating for us.  Impressive artworks such as Icara and Icarus from Reines do not leave any art collector and art lover insensible.  And the infatuation for the new 6 sculptures of artist André Desjardins is so palpable.  There are actually revealed for the first time here in United States.  The fact that we are the only gallery from Montreal is often a great subject of conversation.  Each person have their own very personal story with our exciting city. It makes these exchanges very warm.  We are very happy with the contacts that we have already established and can’t wait to see what those 4 following days will offer us. More to come.

The unveiling of Nathalie Trépanier’s new works on November 23^rd at Galerie ROCCIA attracted a crowd that was visibly delighted by the artist’s talent and unbridled passion. “Sacoche” and “Fé-Fille” sparked a keen interest and got a big round of applause. The evening was topped off by a live performance: Nathalie Trépanier started to craft a new sculpture right before the very eyes of a curious and attentive audience. Thanks to all for your amazing participation.
